Oxylobium cordifolium

Oxylobium cordifolium, commonly known as the heart-leaved shaggy pea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.

The heart-shaped leaves are arranged opposite or whorled, 0.3–0.8 cm (0.12–0.31 in) long, 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) wide, margins and apex curved downward, upper surface covered with warty protuberances, underside sparingly hairy.

The orange-red flowers are borne at the end of branches in racemes, usually in groups of three, standard petal 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long, bracts lance-shaped and taper to a point.

[2][3] Oxylobium cordifolium was first formally described in 1807 by Henry Cranke Andrews and the description was published in The Botanist's Repository for New, and Rare Plants.

[6] Heart-leaved shaggy pea grows on damp, sandy soils in heath and coastal headlands south of Sydney, Tumut and Conjola districts.
